The property of radiation shielding is closely related to the density of material. Higher density means better ray absorption and radiation shielding ability. Due to the higher density of tungsten alloy than other materials, the ray absorption and block ability of which are better than other traditional shielding materials, such as lead. High-density tungsten alloy shielding has a better shielding on gamma rays, which can reduce the volume of shielding. Compared with the lead in same volume, high-density tungsten alloy shielding has better radiation shielding.
Radiation is used to inspect welds and detect cracks in pipelines. A gamma source is mounted on a remote-controlled wheeled trolley and travels inside the length of the pipe. A tungsten collimator is used to direct the radiation onto the target, whilst the radioactive source is housed inside tungsten shielding. Tungsten alloy shield for pipe-line inspection ensures beams of radiation are focused accurately on the area being inspected.
